# 14.0 INTRODUCTION —
Arthur Cayley (1821 - 1895) a great French mathematician discovered
matrices in the year 1860. Nowadays matrices have becn found to be of great
utility in many branches of applied mathematics such as Algebraic and
differential equations, theory of electrical circuits, nuclear physics, mechanics,
aero dynamics and astronomy.
[Matrix methods are very easy, to write many computer application
programs,]
© 1.0.1 Matrix :
A system of mn numbers (clements) arranged in a rectangular arrangement
along m rows and n columns and bounded by the brackets [ ] or ( ) is called
an m by m matrix, Which is written as m X matrix,

Here A is a matrix of order mn. It has m rows and n columns, Each
of the mn numbers is called an clement of the matrix,
The matrix A is denoted by [a,j]

RANK OF A MATRIX
eo Soom
‘The Minors of a Matrix. Let A be any mn matrix and let r be any
natural number such that r < min (m,n), where min (m,n) means the smaller
of the quantities on and n.
Now, deleting (—r) rows and (n—r) columns of the matrix A, we get
an r-rowed square submatrix whose determinant is called a minor of the matrix
of order r. There are\C,."C, minors of order r. In a square matrix of order n,
the largest order minor is the determinant of the matrix itself.
Rank of Matrix. The number r, with the following two properties is
called the rank of the matrix A.
(i) There is atleast one minor of order r of A which does not vanish.
(ii) Every minor of order greater than r of A vanishes.
In other words, the rank of a matrix is the largest of orders of all the
non-vanishing minors of the matrix.
Asa consequence of (ii), every minor of order greater than r will vanish.
From the definition of the rank of a matrix, it follows that
(Othe rank of A > rif there exists a non-zero minor of order r
(ii) the rank of A 1), we get
